Computes confidence intervals of effects in a 2x2 mixed design for medians
Description
Computes distribution-free confidence intervals for the AB interaction effect, main effect of A, main effect of B, simple main effects of A, and simple main effects of B in a 2x2 mixed design where Factor A is the within-subjects factor and Factor B is the between-subjects factor. Effects are defined in terms of medians rather than means. Tied scores are assumed to be rare.
Usage
ci.2x2.median.mixed(alpha, y11, y12, y21, y22)
Arguments
alpha |
alpha level for 1-alpha confidence |
y11 |
vector of scores at level 1 of A in group 1 |
y12 |
vector of scores at level 2 of A in group 1 |
y21 |
vector of scores at level 1 of A in group 2 |
y22 |
vector of scores at level 2 of A in group 2 |
Value
Returns a 7-row matrix (one row per effect). The columns are:
Estimate - estimate of effect
SE - standard error
LL - lower limit of the confidence interval
UL - upper limit of the confidence interval
